Firewall Best Practices

Firewalls are a crucial component of network security. Here are some best practices to ensure your firewall is effectively protecting your network:

• Block Unnecessary Ports: Close all ports that are not required for your business operations.
• Regular Updates: Keep your firewall software up to date to protect against the latest threats.
• Intrusion Detection: Implement intrusion detection systems to alert you of any unauthorized access attempts.
• Least Privilege Access: Assign the least amount of access necessary to users and systems.
• Monitoring and Logging: Regularly review logs for any suspicious activity.
